Question 18 of 128

What part of the federal government writes laws?

Official USCIS answers

Why this is the answer

The federal government has three branches. Congress is the legislative branch, and its main job is to write and pass federal laws. The President carries out laws, and the courts explain them.

💡 Memory tip: Remember: Congress creates laws — C for Congress, C for create.
